Bye Bye Stores

OK, I am sure that I have written about this before, but this is my declaration of retail.  From this day forward, I am shopping only in those stores that maintain continutity in sizing in all of their clothing lines.

I am sick and tired of shopping Macy's ( for example, it could also be Nordstrom's or JC Penney) and having to bring multiple pieces of the same item into the dressing room, because there is absolutely no regulation when it comes to sizing of women's clothing. So, depending on the brand/designer the clothing could be sized in such a way that a woman needs 2 sizes larger or 2 sizes smaller.
I have had enough!  I have found 2 stores, and one on-line store that when I try on/order my size it is always my size.
I am not rich, but I do have $ to spend on a wardrobe.  I am a career woman, I work in a professonal environment and I need to update/change my wardrobe frequently.  The $ are there, alas, the clothes that are offered are not. 

I hate to go shopping for clothes, because I never know what size I am.  I have weighed the same for 10 years, my measurements are the same plump middle aged woman measurements, but depending upon the designer, the store or where the item is made, my size changes, and I hate that!

I realize that I am no longer the size that I was in college, 3 kids and a hysterectomy certainly took care of that, but c'mon designers, I need to know what size I am, and stick with it! 

We have elections this year in the US, I want some senator/congressman from somewhere to have as part of his/her platform that they will introduce a bill to Congress that insists on the standardization of women's clothing!  Men can walk into any store, any time and ask for a suit, size 42, and no matter what store has it, the suit will fit.  Try doing that with a suit for a woman.  It took me 3 years to find a suit that actually fit!  I finally found a place that allowed me to buy the jacket in one size and the skirt in another.  And I am thankful that the designer recognized the fact, that women have bosoms. I can actually buttom the jacket to my new suit!  Hurray.

I understand that fashion designers are creative and have a vision for their clothing lines, but if real women can't wear them, where is the satisfaction?  Please standardize women's fasions, I want the joy of shopping all of the stores, not my designated 3.
